New Yark Law School 110th Commencement Exercises Lincoln Center June 2, 2002 A Message from the Dean Dear Members of the Class of 2002: Graduation always stirs emotions: appreciation for the support of parents, family, and friends; elation while contemplating new jobs, unique opportunities, and becoming a lawyer; relief that finals are over; fear of the unknown and even the known (yes, I know there is a bar exam); and satisfaction in all that has been accomplished and all that will be accomplished in the years to come. But this year brings forth other emotions, specific to your class and your law school: sadness for the great loss we have suffered; shock at our country's great vulnerability; uncertainty about whether the rule of law matters when lawless individuals can cause so much harm; and detennination to lead meaningful, responsible, productive lives as lawyers in a troubled world. To this list I must add my own response. I am proud of you, the Class of 2002. You showed true grit this year, held it together, came back strongly, performed with great elan, showed grace under pressure, proved your courage, demonstrated your dedication to the law, and bonded like no other group ever before. Law teachers often emphasize the intellectual over the emotional. Lawyers keep a professional distance from their clients. Classmates compete with each other, but rarely show their admiration and love. This year is different. We salute the Class of 2002 who have cared deeply for each other, shown great emotional strength, and demonstrated their character! Sincerely, Richard A.
